Re: Attempted robbery at Dixie Gun and Pawn: 1911 saves the day!

If you shoot a guy in the hand with a .45, it'll rip his whole arm off!

It must be true because I heard a Marine say that to Eugene Sledge in The Pacific miniseries. :lol:

Dirty Harry is famous for the .44 Magnum he claimed to carry.

I've heard and read many times that the gun used in the movie was really a .41 Magnum.
